EMPLOYED TO SERVE - fünftes Studioalbum veröffentlicht
Leading lights of British metal, Employed To Serve, arrive in the metal big leagues with ‘Fallen Star’, their fifth studio album.
Kerrang! called the album “perfect” and “heroic,” whilst Metal Hammer insisted that if ‘Fallen Star’ doesn’t make them “absolutely massive” then “God is dead and Satan is sleeping.”
The album is unleashed alongside a video for “Whose Side Are You On?” ft. Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage.

“'Whose Side Are You On?' is a reminder that sometimes it's healthy to get angry, particularly when you find out someone who you thought had your back would rather see you fail, explains Justine Jones.“Anger can give you the drive to make a change and strive to do what's better for your future.”
Sammy Urwin adds, “We were over the moon when Jesse Leach agreed to guest on our track. We've all been fans of Killswitch Engage for years, so it was incredible to work with him. He was perfect for this song, as musically it sits in the Killswitch style of metal, and Jesse has always been such a positive force in the Metal community.
The band offers: “We couldn’t be more excited to release our new album ‘Fallen Star’! In a world that seems hellbent on tearing itself apart, working on this album has been a very welcome distraction for us, and I hope everyone else can find solace in it too. It’s angry, it’s loud, but it also shines a light on the joy you can find in the darkest of spaces. Heavy metal forever.”

Since meeting in their teens on the outskirts of London, vocalist Justine Jones and guitarist / co-vocalist Sammy have had their sights fixed on the road ahead. At first, it was all about standing with the local scene bands they admired, but before long they were forging a path of their own, lifers with a mission, evolving from the feral mathcore of their early EPs to detonating a full-throttle career high with 2021 album, ‘Conquering’.
And now there’s ‘Fallen Star’, an 11-track tour-de-force that sees the collective ETS vision refined to an even sharper degree…
Produced and mixed by Lewis Johns, a longstanding presence behind the desk, it features several special guests, including Killswitch Engage’s Jesse Leach on ‘Whose Side Are You On?’ and Svalbard’s Serena Cherry on ‘Last Laugh.’
